⚙️ Core Features

  1. High Precision & Repeatability

    • Offers resolution down to 0.125 mm with ±0.2 mm repeat accuracy, ideal for applications like object positioning and stack height measurement 13.

    • Analog output (0–10 V) ensures no signal degradation compared to digital interfaces 1415.

  2. Robust Industrial Design

    • M18 housing made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) for chemical/impact resistance 312.

    • IP67 protection for reliable operation in dusty, humid, or harsh environments 13.

  3. Teach-In Programmability

    • Configurable via wired teach-in or optional external push-button. Allows custom setting of detection ranges, hysteresis, and window functions without external software 114.

  4. Environmental Immunity

    • Unaffected by object color/material, ambient light, dust, or fog due to ultrasonic signal coding 1415.

    • Integrated LEDs for echo justification and operational status monitoring 14.
